Do you think Gmail would do that? they always wanted to run light weight threads to make all their sites to load faster. Probably gravatar integration is going to slow it down and my bet is that google wouldn’t want to do it 🙂

That’s a neat little hack. Not quite enough to make me switch back to Firefox for GMail (instead of Chrome), but it’s a positive sign of things hopefully to come in a more cross-platform, cross-browser fashion.

I agree. The number of times I’ve been using a website or service on my iPhone and thought “wish this had gravatar support”… man its not even funny. It’s cool to know there are other likeminded peeps out there though 😛

Why would anyone would want Gravatars on Gmail, or on anything else, really? I am not trolling, but what is a Gravatar? From a real photo to a random something, it can represent anything. Why would I want to have, lets say, the picture of a shoe associated with John Doe?

If you use Google Sync to sync your iPhone contacts with your Gmail contacts (works with Google Apps too), then it brings your GMail contacts into the iPhone. Phone numbers, emails, addresses, photos, everything. And it keeps them in sync too, using a push method. Also syncs the calendar entries from your Google Calendar.http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html
